Fleet Feet Sports

This spot is thorough and as a new runner that’s key. I went in to buy some new shoes and encountered quite a wait. I’m not sure if it was because it was a Sunday or about 2 hours to close, but it took 20 minutes before anyone could assist me. Each attendee makes people walk around the small store to understand stride and feet patterns before suggesting a shoe. Then you’re given a couple of options you can test outside on the pavement. You can also check the catalogs for colors and not in the store. I’ve gone to Fleet Feet before and in both cases found the staff knowledgeable. My attendee was younger, but had been running since he was in middle school and obviously still an avid runner. For shoes I think this place is great. I’m not yet into expensive running apparel, but this place also had a decent selection of socks, shorts, trackers, and other gear. I don’t have much to compare, but I found this to be a good overall experience.

Last summer my wife and I decided to return to running so we happened into the store. We could not have asked for a better experience. The fitting process was great with several style options that fit our feet to a tee. The service went way beyond buying a pair of well fitted shoes. The sales person asked about when and where we run, race, workout, etc… They introduced us to their running/​coaching programs and I signed on to train for the Farragut Half Marathon. I have enjoyed making new friends, getting fit and completing my first ½ marathon.
Thinking about starting running, starting back, or pushing for a new distance or speed you need to visit Fleet Feet. The owners coach many of the groups and can be found working in the store most days.
Getting and staying fit is a challenge that can benefit from support from Fleet Feet.

This store is amazing. They take care of your sizing. Width, arch, length, and watch you run on their treadmill while videotaping it to review with you and show you where you need support. Highly recommend this above all other shoe stores. It is for anything running or walking.

My husband and I were in need of new sneakers and he wanted to find a place that actually took the time to find you the right sneaker instead of you just walking into a store, pointing at a shoe, the salesperson grabbing it, you trying it on, and then walking out if it fit ok.
Fleet feet is nothing like that. They actually do different things to analyze the way you walk/​run. Some examples are running on the treadmill where they videotape you so they can see if you over-​rotate, etc., as well as walking around the store barefoot.
My husband over-​rotates his right foot so he needed to find a very good supportive shoe yet one that comfortably met his needs. I needed comfortable shoes that would accommodate my flat feet as well as wide feet. And they delivered. We both walked away wearing one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes we’ve ever owned. Typically, I love the look of Nike Shox and painfully wear them until they break in. And even then they still sometimes are very uncomfortable to wear. Never again. Will definitely return when in need of new sneakers again!
